"Anywhere but here," which meant Mae's house, but Don Juan didn't need to know that. He didn't have it in him to try and find anywhere else, not when he was so worked up. He could pass out in his sister's guest room, not talk about it, and then come home tomorrow.

"You should know what leaving looks like by now, you do it often enough." It came out more resigned than he meant it to, it was meant to sting, but lost some of the sharpness when he didn't really mean it. Asking for a night to himself, in which Don Juan had already missed more than half of it, really wasn't unreasonable and he wouldn't back down from it.
